Lighting Question

Dave -
I have an unheated shop in northern MA. The bulbs that were in there when we bought the house did not work well in the winter. Last year, I replaced them with GE Ecolux SP41 T8 bulbs. They worked fine all winter.

We use Lithonia’s utility grade T8 fixtures and they are rated to something like -20F. Have used them for a few seasons that include a cold winter in an unheated pole barn and never had a problem.

I have the same Lithonia fixtures that Lis mentioned; “high output” and rated down to -20F, they’ve worked well up in cold, cold Canada.

Look for the electronic ballast and T8 bulbs, with these two you will get instant start and cold weather operation.
